Welcome to Morning Run. 3 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,960 Speaker 2: I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ Holmes. On the Run 4 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:14,920 Speaker 2: this morning, we are hearing from the Bidens for the 5 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 2: first time since the former president's cancer diagnosis was revealed. 6 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 2: But we're also hearing plenty of skepticism and questions about 7 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,600 Speaker 2: why we've only learned about it now. 8 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 1: Plus President Trump had high hopes for a peace agreement, 9 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 1: but after spending hours on the phone, he's singing a 10 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: different tune. Plus Israel launches more deadly airstrikes against Gaza, 11 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: but also allows for more humanitarian efforts. 12 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,239 Speaker 2: Also on the Run this morning, the Trump administration has 13 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 2: agreed to pay five million dollars to the family of 14 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 2: a January sixth rioter. Also, we'll pay you to leave 15 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 2: the country. Some have already taken Trump up on his 16 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 2: self deportation offer. 17 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: And for down six more to go. Hundreds of New 18 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: Orleans police officers continue to search for those escaped inmates. 19 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: Bill on the Run, and another explosive day of testimony 20 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: in the Shawn Dittycoms trial, with three more witnesses taking 21 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 1: the stand describing a violent and volatile ditty. 22 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 2: Also on the run this morning, another major news shake up, 23 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 2: this time the president and CEO of CBS News abruptly resigns. Also, 24 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 2: is the Chicago Mayor's office too black? That's what a 25 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 2: federal investigation wants to find out. And another equipment outage 26 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:30,199 Speaker 2: at Newark Airport and an alarming admission that they're trying 27 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,320 Speaker 2: to fix some of the problems. I ordering new parts 28 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,680 Speaker 2: on eBay. That is not a joke. We will explain 29 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 2: Another troubling development at Newark International Airport. 30 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, I had to do a double take when I 31 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: saw that admission. We will get into that and so 32 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: much more, but we have to begin our Tuesday morning 33 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: run with that update and a lot of questions. We 34 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: have heard from President Biden and Doctor Jill Biden for 35 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: the very first time since the announcement that the former 36 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: president has an aggressive form of stage four prostate cancer, 37 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: and in. 38 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 2: A brief tweet, the former first couple wrote, cancer touch 39 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 2: us us all. Like so many of you, Jaiale and 40 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 2: I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places. 41 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 2: Thank you for you lifting us up with love and support, 42 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 2: and that this message was a company by a photo 43 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 2: of the two smiling. It was a nice photo given 44 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 2: all the news, and you know, given a lot of 45 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 2: what we've been seeing, a lot of us kind of 46 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 2: see Joe Biden as a your old uncle. Sometimes you 47 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 2: justh he gets a little slow. He just mixes up 48 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,639 Speaker 2: some things, It forgets things. No matter what your politics are, 49 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 2: there's something about him that feels that way. So to 50 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 2: see him smiling in that picture was actually nice. 51 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: It certainly wasn't just to hear from them about the announcement, 52 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: but Biden's office said Sunday yes that he was diagnosed 53 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 1: with prostate cancer that had already metastasized spread to his bones, 54 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: and this happened after a checkup they say, revealed a 55 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: small nodule on his prostate last week that required further investigation. Well, 56 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: wishes have been pouring in since that announce but there 57 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 1: have also been questions about his diagnosis, and some debates 58 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 1: about prostate screenings have also surfaced. 59 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, people have wondered aloud, how is it possible that 60 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 2: this slow moving cancer was not caught before now before 61 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 2: it metastasized to his bones, especially when Biden at his 62 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 2: advanced age, was perhaps the most closely monitored patient in 63 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 2: the world as President of the United States. 64 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: Well, it's not clear if he was actually being screened 65 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 1: for prostate cancer during his time in the White House, 66 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: and if he wasn't, some have openly called that malpractice. However, 67 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: a man Biden's aids should not have been screened for 68 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: prostate cancer according to the official recommendations from the US 69 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: Department of Health and Human Services. 70 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, the official recommendation is actually that men between the 71 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 2: ages of fifty five and sixty nine be screened regularly. Now, 72 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 2: any of you out there of a certain age know 73 00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 2: that the regular screening, the common one they do for 74 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 2: prostate cancer, is called a PSA test. It gives you 75 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 2: a certain number and lets doctors know if they need 76 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 2: to do any further investigation. But the guidelines also state, 77 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 2: and I'm quoting here, many men are at risk of 78 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 2: harm from screening, like false positive test results that lead 79 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 2: to more testing, as well as diagnosis of problems that 80 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 2: wouldn't have caused symptoms or death. We recommend against PSA 81 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 2: based screening for men seventy years or older. That is, 82 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 2: the official US government recommendation is that a man yes 83 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 2: seventy years old yes, Joe Biden should not, as president 84 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 2: been getting screened for prostate cancer. 85 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: I could go on and on and on about this. 86 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: This is also about insurance costs. This is also about Hey, 87 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: we don't want to scare people. And also, if you're 88 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: a certain age, you know you're probably gonna die anyway. 89 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 1: I can't stand this, And I get that this type 90 00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: of recommendation exists for a lot of cancer screenings because 91 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: don't want to cause undue stress. But I would argue 92 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: that if you're the president of the United States, it 93 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 1: does matter. You're in the most important position in the world. 94 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: Some would argue, and so why wouldn't you want to 95 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 1: know everything about that person's health and what you could 96 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: be doing to possibly extend or better their lives. 97 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 2: Again, only suggesting and only explaining what the guidelines officially are. 98 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 2: This is not a suggestion that the president of the 99 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 2: United States should be following those guidelines. 100 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 1: He's the president, and it's hard to believe that he 101 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: wouldn't have been screened. 102 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 2: But it's possible the president. 103 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: Nothing official there yet, all right, but a lot of 104 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 1: people want answers on that. So we will follow that 105 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: story as it develops. But next up, on our run 106 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 1: from optimistic to realistic. In one phone call, President Trump 107 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: had high hopes that his scheduled call with Russian President 108 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: Putin would yield positive results or even a ceasefire. He 109 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 1: said so publicly that that is what he wanted to happen. 110 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 2: Yeah, But after two hours on the phone, President Trump 111 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 2: was sounding a different tune, saying the US might even 112 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 2: take a step back from this peace process. He did 113 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 2: come out and say that Ukraine and Russia would start 114 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 2: negotiating immediately, however, for a ceasefire, but he did not 115 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 2: mention what role he or the US might pay might 116 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 2: play now in the peace process. 117 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 1: Trump said this yesterday, very big egos involved. I tell you, 118 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: big egos involved. But I think something's going to happen. 119 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 1: And if it doesn't, I just back away and they'll 120 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 1: have to keep going. 121 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 3: Now. 122 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 2: There was also a suggestion yesterday from President Trump that 123 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 2: Pope Leo was interested in possibly negotiating or being a 124 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 2: part of the peace process. Don't have official word from 125 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 2: the Vatican on that, but that was an interesting nugget 126 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 2: at least that he threw out yesterday. Who continue here 127 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 2: on this Wednesday, Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday morning run We continue 128 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 2: now this Tuesday morning run with Israel launched a new 129 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 2: major air offensive in Gaza. At the same time it's 130 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 2: allowed more humanitarian aid into Gaza. Health officials say approximately 131 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 2: sixty people were killed in overnight. 132 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: Air strikes, and this comps at the same time that 133 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: Israel lifted a blockade yes and allowed a number of 134 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: humanitarian trucks to cross into Gaza. This is the first time, 135 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: by the way, in more than two months that Israel 136 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: has given the ok for that humanitarian aid to flow 137 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: into Gaza. And estimated sixty hostages remain held by Helmas. 138 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: They were all captured during that October twenty twenty three 139 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: attack which set off the current conflict we are now witnessing. 140 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 2: All right, we will continue on the run. 141 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 3: Now. 142 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 2: Next leg takes us back to DC. Whether the Trump 143 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 2: administration has agreed to pay five million dollars to the 144 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 2: family of the woman who was shot and killed during 145 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 2: the January sixth attack on the US capital. Yes, she 146 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 2: was shot and killed. She was among the rioters. 147 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: The family of Ashley Babbitt was suing the government for 148 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: thirty million dollars in a wrongful death lawsuit after Babbitt 149 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: was shot while trying to climb through a broken window 150 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: that led to the Speaker's lobby. That's a hallway that 151 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: would have given her and the others who were behind 152 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: her access to the House of Representatives chamber. The US 153 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: Capitol Police officer who shot Babbitt was cleared of any 154 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: criminal wrongdoing in the incident. 155 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, The Justice Department said it found no evidence for 156 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 2: the officer to reasonably believe that it was necessary to 157 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 2: shoot Babbitt in self defense or in defense of any 158 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 2: members of Congress. The Bob million dollar settlement was actually 159 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 2: reached at the beginning of this month. What the details 160 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 2: and dollar amount were just released here recently and yesterday, 161 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 2: the US Capitol Police chief said he was extremely disappointed 162 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 2: and disagreed with the settlement. 163 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 1: Next up on the run, some folks have taken Trump 164 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: up on his offer self deport and will give you 165 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 1: a free right out of the country and one thousand dollars. 166 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: The administration says. The first self deportation flight happened yesterday. 167 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 2: It took off from Texas carrying sixty four people who 168 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 2: were heading back to Honduras and Columbia. The administration tout 169 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 2: at this new program, which is calling Project Homecoming. They 170 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 2: talked about it earlier this month and said undocumented immigrants 171 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 2: could sign up via the CBP home app. That's the 172 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 2: Border Patrol app. The White House is claiming this is 173 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 2: a whole lot cheaper than it is to have to arrest, detain, house, 174 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 2: and deport someone. They said those totals for one individual 175 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 2: can reach seventeen thousand dollars, so if you give them 176 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 2: a thousand and a plane ticket out of the country, 177 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 2: that's a lot cheaper. They actually say seventy percent. But 178 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 2: it is happening and is officially first flight yesterday. 179 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: All right, next up on the run, we're going to 180 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: head to New Orleans. Four down and six to go. 181 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,079 Speaker 1: New Orleans police captured a fourth escaped inmate last night, 182 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,319 Speaker 1: but they are now in their fifth day of searching 183 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: for these men. 184 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 2: That's been going on since Friday. Ten inmates escaped through 185 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 2: a hole in the wall behind a toilet. It sounds 186 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,559 Speaker 2: like something from a Bugs Bunny cartoon. This should not 187 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 2: be this easy, but they left behind a note on 188 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 2: the wall. It said too easy. Loll It was misspelled, 189 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 2: but you get the point. The city has been on 190 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 2: high alert as more than two hundred officers have been 191 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 2: searching for the men who've been charged with a range 192 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,319 Speaker 2: of violent crimes. You're talking murder, attempt at murder, and 193 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 2: armed robbery. 194 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 1: Investigators say they've received tips and calls on all of 195 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: the escaped inmates, but they keep running into dead ends. 196 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: The head of the Louisiana State Police said this we 197 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: end up getting there just a little too late, suggesting 198 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: that inmates are likely getting help hiding from their friends 199 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: and family now. 200 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 2: They continue to remind folks in New Orleans, though, that 201 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 2: they need to be vigilant report any sightings of the escapees, 202 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 2: whose pictures have been of course all over the local 203 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 2: TV stations. You can find them everywhere online as well. 204 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 2: They say the city has been mostly operating normally despite 205 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 2: what they consider a pretty significant threat of them being 206 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 2: out there right now. 207 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,199 Speaker 1: Next up on our run, we head to Lower Manhattan, 208 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: where testimony continues today in the Ditty trial. Yesterday, three 209 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: witnesses testified to seeing Sean Dittycombs on several occasions and 210 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: in varying degrees, physically assault his then girlfriend Cassie Ventura Yeah. 211 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 2: The witnesses we saw in the stand Yeah yesterday were 212 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 2: one a former pop star, another was a former best 213 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 2: friend of Ventura, and a third as a former personal 214 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,559 Speaker 2: assistant to Combs. Now the first up, Don Richard, was 215 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 2: a member of the group Danity Kane, which was formed 216 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,439 Speaker 2: by Combs on his show making the band. She testified 217 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 2: to seeing Ventura punched, choked, kicked, and so on by Combs. 218 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 1: She said at one point she and another friend wore 219 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: dark sunglasses in solidarity with Cassie when they all went out, 220 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: because Cassie needed to wear them to cover up a 221 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: black eye. Then another witness, Carrie Morgan, was Ventura's best friend, 222 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: but she said their friendship abruptly ended in twenty eighteen 223 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,319 Speaker 1: after Combs assaulted her. 224 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 2: That Morgan testified that Combs choked her from behind and 225 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 2: threw a wooden hangar at her head, and that Ventura 226 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 2: came to her afterwards to say Colmbs was going to 227 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 2: give her thirty thousand dollars for the incident. She also 228 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,079 Speaker 2: would have to sign an NDA. Morgan testified that she 229 00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:01,199 Speaker 2: signed that NDA and on that day she never again 230 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 2: spoke to Ventura after that. It was incredible roads. We 231 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,199 Speaker 2: talk about some of this moving testimony, but some of 232 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 2: these things that stand out to me. Morgan was saying 233 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 2: up there on the stand, I don't want to be here. 234 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 2: I didn't want to testify. I'm only here because I'm 235 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 2: required to by a subpoena. And she said, quote, I 236 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 2: have moved on with my life away from all these 237 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 2: people and the problems. She sounded like a lot of 238 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 2: people we hear they just couldn't get out, and this 239 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 2: is one who finally got out. She's been drawn back 240 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 2: in to a certain degree by this trial. It just 241 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 2: stood out to me and all the stuff we've been seeing, Yeah. 242 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,319 Speaker 1: The pain is palpable for so many people. The last 243 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: witness of the day, by the way, was David James. 244 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: He was an assistant to Colmbs, and he's going to 245 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: continue his testimony today, which we will continue to follow. 246 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 2: All right, and stay with us here on this Tuesday 247 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 2: morning Ron when we come back. The Mayor of Chicago 248 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 2: is being investigated because his office might be a little 249 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 2: too black. Also coming up, we have seen another major 250 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 2: network news shake up. A president of a network has 251 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 2: abruptly stepped down and Newerk No wonder things over there 252 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 2: aren't working. They're being buying spare parts from eBay. 253 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: We continue our Tuesday morning run with another major shakeup 254 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,959 Speaker 1: at CBS News. The president and CEO of CBS News 255 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 1: announced she is resigning from her position. This came as 256 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: quite a surprise to many of us. Wenny McMahon sent 257 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: a memo to her staff saying this it's become clear 258 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: that the company and I do not agree on the 259 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 1: path forward. It's time for me to move on and 260 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 1: for this organization to move forward with new leadership. 261 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 2: At CBS News is in the middle of a legal 262 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 2: battle with President Trump over a Kamala Harris interview on 263 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 2: Sixty Minutes leading up to last year's election. CBS paying 264 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 2: company Paramount, has entered into mediation now to settle the 265 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 2: twenty billion dollar loss Trump has filed against the news organization. 266 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 2: Even though CBS News has repeatedly denied Trump's accusation that 267 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 2: the program edited Harris's interview to influence the election in 268 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 2: her favor. That potential settlement has raised concerns about the 269 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 2: message it sends to the Trump administration and what it 270 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 2: may mean editorially for CBS News in the future. 271 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 1: McMahon is the latest and the highest profile person to 272 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: step down in the wake of this Trump lawsuit. Last month, 273 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: Sixty Minutes executive producer Bill Owens resigned, saying in his 274 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: memo to staff that it had become clear that I 275 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 1: would not be allowed to run the show as I 276 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: have always run it. And for those of us in 277 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: the industry, and perhaps for even a lot of people 278 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: who are just from the outside looking in, it's pretty 279 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: apparent these are both jobs that no one would normally 280 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: voluntarily leave. So it certainly speaks to the environment and 281 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: how they felt in their roles in these major enviable 282 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: positions at CBS News. 283 00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 2: But Trump has network running scared. I mean, don't forget 284 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 2: what happened over ABC decided to settle and give Trump 285 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 2: sixteen million dollars to settle the lawsuit. And now this 286 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 2: to the most important jobs you could argue in television. 287 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 2: People just decided to walk away because of the influence 288 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 2: of Trump. This is scary. 289 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 3: It's very scary. 290 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 2: These are scary times. You continue here on this run, Uh, 291 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 2: we're going to this leg takes us from what DC 292 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 2: to Chicago. Kind of a long run for this story. 293 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 2: But the Justice Department in DC has opened a civil 294 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 2: rights investigation into the Chicago Mayor's office. Why because the 295 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 2: Chicago Mayor's office might be too black. 296 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: This all came about because Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, who 297 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: is black, was at a black church on Sunday, and 298 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: while he was talking about black stuff in particularly, he 299 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: was touting the diversity of his administration and how many 300 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: black officials are a part of his team. 301 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 2: Now that sounds like something someone might want to tout, 302 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 2: that might want to talk about diversity. But this is 303 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 2: what he said that got attention and now has gotten 304 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 2: him in trouble with the DOJ quote. There are some 305 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 2: detractors that will try and push back on me and 306 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 2: say the only thing the mayor talks about is the 307 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 2: hiring of black people. No, what I'm saying is when 308 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 2: you hire our people, we always look out for everybody else. 309 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 2: We are the most generous people on the planet. In quote, 310 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 2: he goes on to point out and list several high 311 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 2: profile positions in his administration that are held by black officials. 312 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: About twenty four hours later, he got a letter from 313 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: the Justice Department stating that it was taking a look 314 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: at the city's hiring practices. If these types of hiring 315 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: decisions are being made for top level positions, it begs 316 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: the question whether such decisions are also being made for low, 317 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: lower level positions. That is remarkable that you can say 318 00:16:53,600 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: something in a black church talking about hiring black folks jobs, 319 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: and now you're being admonished, potentially by the Justice Department. 320 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 2: Have to take deep breaths on this story and we'll 321 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 2: see what does actually happen to this. But of course 322 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 2: the Trump administration has been talking about getting rid of 323 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 2: DEI and said so many things. Everything should be based 324 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 2: on your skill levels, should be based. 325 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 1: On merit based. 326 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 2: Meden had nothing to do with race. We get that 327 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 2: this is not the place to have that debate, but 328 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 2: I assure. 329 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,199 Speaker 1: You you have thoughts. 330 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 2: Most of my jobs in my life were dependent on 331 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 2: getting them because a room full of white people at 332 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 2: the top had to make a decision about whether or 333 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,120 Speaker 2: not I could come on board. So we see these 334 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 2: things in reverse. So you have the other side saying, ah, no, 335 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 2: it should only be merit based. But when it's all 336 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 2: white people in the room, nobody's screaming about, hey, it 337 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,159 Speaker 2: should only be merit based. And it's just a it's 338 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,439 Speaker 2: a complicated one. And I this story fired me up 339 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,160 Speaker 2: to the point I was about to lose my mind. 340 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: So we can have a longer discussion about this on 341 00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: our weekend morning run where we feel more in depth 342 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 1: into the stories that left us talking. 343 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 2: We should skip this one that would be on the 344 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 2: list for sure. The final leg of our run today 345 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 2: is going to take us back over to Newark where 346 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 2: it's happened again at Newark Airport, another equipment outage that 347 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 2: caused the control center to lose contact with planes. 348 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 1: Okay, so this outage only lasted two seconds, we're told, 349 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 1: but this is the fourth such outage in the past 350 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 1: two weeks. The previous ones were longer and caused all 351 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: kinds of disruptions, including a ground stop. 352 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 2: At one point, the Transportation Department says a plan for 353 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 2: upgrading old equipment is in place. We talked about this 354 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 2: here morning run. It matter been last week or the 355 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 2: week before, but they said, this is several years before 356 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 2: all this stuff is implemented. So what do we do 357 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 2: in the meantime. So the tech they keep saying is 358 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 2: decades old is decades behind in being upgraded. So the 359 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 2: Transportation secretary revealed this that they have literally been buying 360 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:58,880 Speaker 2: replacement parts on eBay, and in some cases they've had 361 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 2: to use three deep printers to make parts that don't exist. Anymore. 362 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 2: That is how old the equipment they say is at Newark. 363 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: That is so disturbing. I remember at one point, I 364 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: believe Trump said that they are using radios from the 365 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 1: nineteen sixties. 366 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 3: How is that possible? 367 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: That makes zero sense to me. 368 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 2: This is that would be funny. But this is scary. 369 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 2: Right like a screen we said two seconds this time, 370 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 2: no big deal, No, it was ninety seconds before. On 371 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,919 Speaker 2: another one, if somebody does not cannot see a plane 372 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 2: and cannot talk to a pilot, they actually used afraid 373 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 2: of FAA and explaining this said that all planes remained 374 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,160 Speaker 2: safely apart, Like don't, I don't, don't tell. 375 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,360 Speaker 1: Me that that shouldn't be something you teut that's what 376 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: your job is a period, and if you mass up 377 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: your job, people die. So yes, this is of utmost importance. 378 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: But still this is shocking, beyond shocking. When I read that, 379 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 1: it was mind blowing. So that it is why we 380 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:01,400 Speaker 1: and a. 381 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 3: Lot of other folks have switched our flights literally to 382 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 3: avoid Newark, because it is, for at least these two 383 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 3: journalists a little too scary to risk. 384 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 2: Well, we don't want to leave you with that want 385 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 2: want wam. So here's something we'll leave you with something 386 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 2: we'd like for you to consider as you go about 387 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 2: your day. It is our quote of the day. 388 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, this spoke to me because sometimes we get so 389 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,919 Speaker 1: overwhelmed with all of the big things we have to 390 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 1: do and what we need to do. 391 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:27,479 Speaker 2: I love this quote. 392 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: If you cannot do great things, do small things in 393 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:36,360 Speaker 1: a great way. Isn't that so much more? I don't 394 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 1: even want to say digestible, but attainable, and it makes 395 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: you feel like, you know what I can do. I 396 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 1: can make sure every little thing I do is excellent. 397 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,119 Speaker 1: It's the best of my ability. I don't have to 398 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: think about some grandiose thing. I can just do all 399 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 1: the little things really, really well. 400 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 2: And it does get noticed. Right, nobody's going to give 401 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 2: you a big responsibility if they haven't seen you already 402 00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,080 Speaker 2: nailed the small things brilliantly. So yes, this is a 403 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:01,640 Speaker 2: good digestible quote. Who's this from? 404 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,680 Speaker 1: You know what this is from. It's a man called 405 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: Napoleon Hill and I had to look him up, but 406 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 1: he's an author of self help books that emerged in 407 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: the nineteen thirties that are still popular today, which I love. 408 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 1: Going back to seeing folks who didn't who don't live 409 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,680 Speaker 1: in our times, who are long since gone, and yet 410 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 1: still what they have to say. We've been dealing with 411 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: problems in life since the beginning of time, and some 412 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,880 Speaker 1: of the same wisdom that still applies today I need 413 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: to be reminded of. 414 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,640 Speaker 3: So I loved this quote. 415 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: We'll give it to you one more time. If you 416 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: cannot do great things, do small things in a great way. 417 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 1: And with that we hope you have a wonderful Tuesday. 418 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 1: Thanks for running with us. 419 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 2: I'm any Robots and I'm DJ Holmes.
